Du Xiaoxian was sitting on the flower bed inside the bush, when she suddenly saw a beam of bright light coming from the gate, she knew it was Gu Nianbin who came back, so she hurried out of the bush, went under the tree and waited, now she She is not afraid of Gu Nianbin at all, instead she is very happy to see him, because in this family, he is her closest relative.
The car stopped in front of her, and when he saw Gu Nianbin getting out of the car, Du Buxian quickly called out to the young master, Gu Nianbin hummed, without looking at her, he walked straight into the house. Du Xiaoxian blinked her eyes, looked at his back that was gradually going away, suddenly felt a little sad, her nose was sore, she shook her head and went back to the bushes to sit down, in fact, she was rarely so sad, when Grandma died She was sad because Xiao Hei, who had been with her all the time, was gone, and she was also sad. Other than that, it seemed that there was nothing to be sad about.
But now she is very sad, Gu Nianbin usually sees her with a pleasant and gentle look, and often touches her head to express his liking for her, this makes her the happiest. Every time Gu Nianbin makes such a move, she jumps for joy, because it means that the young master likes her, and if someone likes her, she has a sense of existence, and this feeling is very important to her. But it's different now, she feels very sensitively that the young master doesn't like her anymore, and he hates her just like them!
Du Xiaoxian rested her chin, looked down at her feet, they were right, she is a nuisance, she is annoying wherever she goes, now even the young master is hated, then she...
She looked up at the sculpture again. Under the watery moonlight, the bather was serene and quiet. She looked at it, and her depressed mood recovered a little.
Standing in front of the window, Gu Nianbin was also staring at the sculpture in front of the yard in a daze. His mind seemed to be even more confused. Ever since Shao Baiqing said that to him before get off work, his heart has been in chaos. Of course Shao Baiqing was talking nonsense, how could he be interested in Du Xiaoxian? It's just a child, and because she felt pitiful, he took care of her more, which was definitely not what Shao Baiqing thought, but Du Xiaoxian's aggrieved expression just now made him feel blocked. There seemed to be a small voice in his head saying: You care about her, you really care about Du Xiaoxian!
Gu Nianbin shook his head vigorously, impossible, absolutely impossible, he turned his head to look at Xia Xiaowan's photo on the table, he only had Xiaowan in his heart, how could he accommodate another girl, not to mention that Du Xiaoxian was so much younger than him, or A little maid, this is incredible!
Gu Nianbin went to the bathroom and took a cold shower, then stood by the window with a dry towel to wipe his head, and glanced at the bushes by the flower bed below, it was dark and gloomy, and it was not certain that someone was there, but Gu Nianbin kept Staring there, I felt that Du Xiaoxian must be inside, what was she doing hiding there? Are you sad? Will she cry
Throwing away the towel, he went to sleep on the bed, picked up Xia Xiaowan's photo on the bedside table, and told himself again that the person he likes is Xia Xiaowan, and it can only be Xia Xiaowan!
That night, he slept very restlessly and had a strange dream. Many faces floated around him, all of them were women, including Xia Xiaowan, Zhou Ting, several daughters of his family friends, and Xia Xiaowan, Partners in business. . . Every face is surprisingly clear, only one face is blurry, and only a sharp chin can be seen vaguely. He stretches out his hand to grab that face to see clearly, every time he almost reaches it , those faces rushed over to stop him, he tried his best to pull them away, and grabbed the blurred face again, but he still couldn't catch it. Seeing that face drifting away, he felt inexplicably flustered, as if There is one very important thing that I can't remember...
Woke up in the middle of the night, wiped the sweat from his forehead, Gu Nianbin went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when he returned to the room, he saw Xia Xiaowan's photo frame dropped on the floor, picked it up, and the crystal photo frame was covered with There was a small crack, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, and felt that he was worrying unnecessarily, so he put the photo frame on the bedside table, leaned on the bed and lit a cigarette, and the green smoke curled up in the air. , Under the dim light, the smoke was like a net that was slowly being drawn away. Gu Nianbin stared blankly, then suddenly remembered the dream just now, and stumped the smoke in the ashtray again a little annoyed. He pulled the quilt over his head and lay down quietly.
In the evening of the next day, Du Xiaoxian was sweeping the floor when she suddenly saw a small white car driving in from the gate. She recognized it as the car of the young master's girlfriend, Ms. Xia, so she hurried to the side to let the car pass by. Then he continued to sweep the floor with his head down, but after a while, he caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards her from the corner of his eye, and when he looked up, it was Xia Xiaowan, who looked at her with a faint smile: "Your name is Du Xiaoxian?"
Du Xiaoxian nodded, inexplicably flustered, holding the broom vigorously.
Xia Xiaowan said again: "I seem to have seen you in Nian Bin's office?"
Du Xiaoxian nodded again, feeling more and more uneasy.
"How old are you?"
The gentler Xia Xiaowan's tone became, the more flustered Du Xiaoxian became. She didn't understand why Xia Xiaowan wanted to talk to her at all? She bit her lip and said softly, "I'm eighteen."
"That's great, they are the same age," Xia Xiaowan asked again, "Where is your hometown?"
"Great Liangshan." At this moment, Du Xiaoxian suddenly remembered the incident of scalding Xia Xiaowan last time, and quickly said: "Miss Xia, I'm sorry, what happened last time, I didn't do it on purpose, I..."
"It's okay, I know you didn't mean it." Xia Xiaowan smiled gently, "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
While the two were talking, Gu Nianbin's car drove in from the door and stopped beside them. Gu Nianbin opened the car door and got out, looked at Xia Xiaowan and smiled: "I have something to do at the moment, otherwise I will pick you up."
"It's okay, I just arrived and I'm chatting with Xiaoxian."
Du Xiaoxian quickly called out to Young Master, and Gu Nianbin responded lightly like that night, but still didn't look at her, and walked towards the house with Xia Xiaowan.
Du Xiaoxian heard him say to Xia Xiaowan in a low voice: "What do you have to talk to her about?"
There was a little contempt in that tone, Du Xiaoxian felt as if a needle had been pricked in her heart, the pain made her frown. She quickly turned around and lowered her head, a tear fell on the back of her hand unexpectedly, the hot tears seemed to burn her skin, prickling, followed by two more drops, and then a series of falling down.
She held the broom tightly, feeling extremely uncomfortable, as if a hand was twisting her heart so hard that she couldn't even breathe. Du Xiaoxian didn't know why she felt so uncomfortable, the young master was right, a humble person like her really had nothing to talk about, but why she was so uncomfortable, it was just a sentence, no matter how ugly she said, she was indifferent, why is it so Sensitive, life is so good, has she become hypocritical
She looked at the back of her hand with tears in her eyes. There were still some shallow marks from the burn last time. She did something wrong that time. Not only did the young master not scold her, but he even applied ointment to her, smiled at her, and even hugged her. His arms are so warm! But now... With his indifferent eyes and disdainful tone, he is alienating her, and the young master who is closest to her is also going away from her. No one will treat her as well as the young master. Du Xiaoxian burst into tears, and was suddenly so sad that he couldn't help himself, even his shoulders shook.
Xia Xiaowan went up the steps and looked back. In the distance, Du Xiaoxian stood with his back facing them, and his thin body seemed to tremble slightly in the setting sun. What was Du Xiaoxian doing standing there, but it was as if his foot suddenly missed a step, and his heart sank instantly.
Fang Yaru stood at the door, watched them come up, and smiled with relief: "You are back."
Xia Xiaowan greeted with a smile, stepped forward and took Fang Yaru's arm affectionately. Compared with Gu Shanshan, she and Fang Yaru are now more like mother and daughter.
Fang Yaru chatted and laughed with her, walked into the room, saw Gu Nianbin standing still, and asked in surprise, "Aren't you coming in?"
Gu Nianbin took out the cigarette case, "I'll come in after I smoke a cigarette."
"You'd better smoke less. It's not good for your health." Seeing her son lighting a cigarette by himself, Fang Yaru couldn't help shaking her head, and whispered to Xia Xiaowan, "Talk about him when you have time, but now I say he doesn't care. used."
Xia Xiaowan laughed: "I said he wouldn't listen."
"How do you know if you haven't tried it?" Fang Yaru lowered her voice, "If you don't care about it before marriage, it's even harder to care about it after marriage."
Xia Xiaowan blushed, and said in a rare coy way: "Auntie, it's too early to say that."
Fang Yaru sneaked a glance at her son, and saw that he was standing by the pillar smoking, not paying attention to them, so she said: "It's getting late, I still want to find a time to visit your parents."
"This..." Xia Xiaowan turned her head and glanced at Gu Nianbin secretly, "Let's ask what Nianbin means first."
"I'll tell Nian Bin," Fang Yarula Xia Xiaowan sat down on the sofa, "You also go back and ask your parents what they mean, and arrange a time for the two families to meet."
"Okay, as long as Nian Bin has no objections, my parents are easy to talk to."
Fang Yaru nodded in satisfaction. These days, Gu Nianbin and Xia Xiaowan seem to be doing well. Everything is moving in a good direction, and it seems that her wish will be fulfilled soon. Thinking that Gu Nianbin was going to get married and have children soon, she was so happy. The heart disease for many years was finally gone. She was relieved, and in a blink of an eye, she could hold her fat grandson again. Fang Yaru felt that the happy life in her old age was already waving to her.
Gu Nianbin was smoking a cigarette, silently looking at the thin figure in the distance, he knew that Du Xiaoxian was crying, although her shoulders were no longer shaking, but she was wiping away her tears, wiping them again and again...
He was suddenly very angry, why were he crying? What is there to cry about? Where are there so many tears? Why can't it be wiped dry? Throwing the cigarette butt on the ground fiercely, strode down the steps, he walked towards her angrily, he wanted to ask her why she was crying? Eat well and live well here, and let her go to school, what else is she dissatisfied with? Why on earth are you crying
The anger was actually only for a moment. When he walked across the front yard to the lawn, his pace slowed down significantly, and finally he stopped, looking at the thin figure who was still facing away from him, hesitating. He has always been a straightforward person, but when facing Du Xiaoxian, he always hesitates...
They finally turned around and walked slowly towards the house. They are people from two worlds, and they are destined not to meet in this life, just like two parallel lines, they can only go their own way forever.
Gu Nianbin walked up the steps and looked back, Du Xiaoxian was still sweeping the floor with a broom, looking at it this way, she was as normal as usual. Gu Nianbin suddenly wondered if he was hallucinating again just now, Du Xiaoxian is obviously normal, why would he cry
Du Xiaoxian wiped away her tears, calmed down, and continued to sweep the floor. From childhood to adulthood, there are many people who don't like her, she doesn't care at all, no matter how difficult life is, she still has to live! She is not a thick-skinned person, but she can turn a blind eye to those white eyes, taunts, and sarcasm.
But now, she cares about Gu Nianbin's attitude. He used to be so kind to her, so good that she felt like she was going to heaven, happy and happy, but now his attitude has undergone a 180-degree change, causing her to fall straight from heaven to hell. As soon as she thought about it, her heart twisted into a ball, it was a strange pain that she couldn't bear. Du Xiaoxian felt that she couldn't bear it, her thinking was always simple: since the young master doesn't like her anymore, then what is she still doing here, why not leave. As soon as this idea popped up, it was like a wild horse running wild, rampaging in her mind, and she couldn't take it back.
But if you really want to go, where can you go? The second aunt begged for this job, how could she just leave like this
She stopped, let out a sigh of relief, turned around and glanced at the other side of the house, just in time to see the back of Gu Nianbin entering the room, the tall figure brightened her eyes, but dimmed in an instant, her heart twisted for a moment, very It hurts, it hurts, she turned around and looked up at the gorgeous clouds in the sky, even if she leaves, even if she never sees the young master again, she will remember him, remember him forever...
